The 70-20-10 Innovation Portfolio Workshop

Is your innovation pipeline lopsided? Rebalance your portfolio to ensure long-term strategic viability.

About this session

Most leadership teams spend their entire budget on incremental fixes while neglecting the breakthrough ideas that ensure long-term survival. This workshop uses the 70-20-10 framework to audit your current projects and reallocate resources toward a mix of core, adjacent, and transformational growth. You will exit with a concrete map of where your investment is actually going and a plan to fix the imbalances.

Why it works

The structure forces an objective audit of every active project, making it impossible to ignore when the pipeline is too heavily weighted toward the short term. By using a fixed ratio as a benchmark, the session replaces vague debates about innovation with a clear mathematical assessment of strategic risk and future readiness.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for
